Just a quick update on some new work that Jenny has made. She's really enjoyed making these little sculptures and is now looking for outlets where she can sell them. If anyone has any suggestions they'll be very welcome. thanks

Once again I have to apologise for my lack of posts - I just don't seem able to get myself into the routine of writing regularly. Anyway, back to the task at hand. in my last post (last year!) I mentioned that I'd bought a french easel and was planning to do some paintings. Well here they are! I feel that I'm gradually improving - but your honest opinions would be really welcome!

I've tried to loosen up a little as I've always found myself getting too fussy over my work which rarely leads to results that I'm pleased with. My latest paintings are the top two which were both done very quickly (2 hours total to complete both) and I'm really pleased with the hens especially.

Please, please let me know what you think, as critical comments are what I need to improve.

About Me

I have always enjoyed making art and studied it at university. I have painted on and off for many years. However, ceramics are relatively new to me and I think this is part of it's appeal - I like learning new things. I also enjoy playing classical guitar and cycling, oh and the odd bit of gardening. I work full time as a teacher and so I have to squeeze in the painting and pottery around work and my other hobbies. I've got two great kids and a fantastic wife. All in all, I'm a lucky lad!
